San Juan, Puerto Rico Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz told President Donald Trump Tuesday that hurricane relief efforts on the island were "not about politics," days after Trump sparred with Cruz via Twitter over her criticism of the federal government's response. "It’s all about saving lives, it’s not about politics," said Cruz to Trump as they shook hands following a briefing earlier in the day. Trump touted the response to Hurricane Maria as he attended the briefing on relief efforts, noting that the territory's officials "can be proud" of the relatively low death toll on the island compared to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. "Sixteen people versus in the thousands. You can be very proud of all of your people and all of our people working together. She later told the network that she felt the most productive part of the meeting came after Trump spoke when she was among a group that met with White House staffers. "They were so thankful for what we’ve done,” he said. Trump specifically commented during the briefing on the high cost of rebuilding the island and restoring its infrastructure following the storm. We saved a lot of lives." The president’s trip came amid some criticism over the federal government’s response to the island twice hit by a hurricane in the past month.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz on Sunday said she would meet with President Trump when he visits Puerto Rico on Tuesday if he asks for it. "If he asks to meet with me, of course I will meet with him," she said on ABC's "This Week." "Anything that can be done and anyone that will listen." Cruz also said there is only one goal in the response to Hurricane Maria and it's "saving lives." "Any dialogue that goes on just has to be able to produce results," she said. "And all I did last week, or even this week, was ask for help." Trump on Saturday lashed out at Cruz in a series of tweets after she criticized the storm response in an emotional plea for federal help. “The mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump,” Trump tweeted. "Such poor leadership ability by the mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help."
